Incredibly heartbreaking for everyone involved.

As ironic as it may seem, times like this are when it is most appropriate to discuss why we are out there. It helps give an understanding of what these people gave their lives for. Lang was covering one of the biggest reasons why we are there when she died: reconstruction. The attempts to help rebuild a nation who's people have known only war and oppression. These five died in an effort to help a people that not many in Canada would think to care about. Knowing why we are in Afghanistan will help people understand the significance of their sacrifice.
